    Oh damn, my perception was off. I thought the box was taller and it was a softopper! The box looks the same.

    That’s a reasonable goal for sure. If you haven’t already, paint the towers and resi clamps. Can’t get to the back once welded on.

    Some people forget I have the towers already done :crazy:

    I just need the resi mounts burned on. I talked to the guy that melted the crossbrace together and he's down. Just need to nail down a day and time next week.

    No you have to cut them off, repaint the back, and weld them back on.

    Are you going to redo the lower brackets or change your bumps? I imagine their dimensions are a little different.

    Not sure if that first part is a troll..

    We will install, check the lower brackets and move as needed. Bumps will be looked at once I have the Deavers. I am expecting 2 quotes today.

    I plan to break down the packs and cycle the suspension the way Jason recommends.

    Lol of course I was kidding about the first part. Sounds like a good plan.

    I know it is not ideal, but it's the best plan I have to get everything unfucked. When we installed the Billies and the shock relocation, we kept the 12" King numbers in mind. Obviously, real world application outweighs "fictional" numbers. Kings have always been the plan in the rear, even 3 years ago, so I hope being prepared and measuring paid off. If we have to make some changes to the lower shock mounts, that's not the end of the world.
